DUBAI: Jordanian Romanian shoe designer Amina Muaddi marked the first anniversary of her standalone boutique this week.
Located in Paris, on Avenue Montaigne, the store is the celebrity designer’s first standalone opening since she launched her footwear brand in 2018.
She posted on Instagram: “My first boutique turned one, you guys!” The post featured a carousel of images showing her latest Cruise collection.
To mark the occasion, Muaddi hosted a gathering at the boutique, with guests including Christine Centenera, editor-in-chief of Vogue Australia; Dan Sablon, a Paris-based fashion stylist and consultant; model Tina Kunakey; actress and model Laura Harrier; and socialite and model Lori Harvey.
Her latest collection is laced with florals, with summer-style sandals offered up with tropical flowers.
The designer is frequently seen at fashion events the world over and was most recently spotted at Jacquemus’ latest runway presentation. The French luxury house transformed the dramatic Phare de la Pietra lighthouse in Corsica into the setting for its spring/summer 2027 collection, “Le Bonheur,” in late June.
Muaddi launched her eponymous footwear line in August 2018, about one year after departing from her role as co-founder and creative director of luxury footwear label Oscar Tiye.
Since the launch, Muaddi has enjoyed a series of successful events, notably her collaboration with Rihanna’s Fenty collection. Their partnership earned the Collaborator of the Year award at the 34th FN Achievement Awards in 2020.
A year later, Muaddi’s influence and success were further recognized when she was named one of Women’s Wear Daily and Footwear News’ 50 Most Powerful Women.
The shoemaker’s eponymous label’s distinct pumps, sling-backs, mules, boots and sandals in an array of vibrant colors and holographic designs have since garnered a loyal checklist of famous fans, including Dua Lipa, Gigi Hadid, Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber.
